Description

18GHz Ku-Band fiber optic mini Transmitter and Receiver set.

The transmitter is able to accept RF signals from 10mhz to 18Ghz analog or digital  RF modulated signal and convert it to an optically modulated light; and the receiver converts the optical signal back to an electrical RF.

There are a lot of challenges to sending high-frequency RF over long-distance coaxial copper cable, the K-Band TX/RX allows you to send this signal over fiber from 0 to 40Km if needed.

Electrical to optical conversion is transparent, protocol or modulation independent, they work with analog or digital modulation standards.

Used for C-band, L-band, Ku-band, S-band Sattelite, cell phone 5G/4G/3G Mobile Communication, DAS or radar applications.

 

Applications:
5G/4G/3G Mobile Communication
Antenna remoting
Satellite communication
GPS signal transport
Pulse signal transport
Distributed antenna system
High-speed test and measurement
Video signal distribution in HFC and FTTx Nodes
Wideband wireless communication
OFDM fiber transmission
Radar over the fiber
